Back to work

Last week I went back to work after four amazing months off. I was able to enjoy all four months with Claire as well as some time off with Cole as well. I was very lucky to be able to take this much time off as I only got 8 weeks with Cole. Looking back that was far from enough time! I have an amazing support at work and home to be a new working mom of two! We are all adjusting to me being back to work.

Claire is adjusting with learning to take a bottle and using a pacifier while I am at work. Luckily I am working from home 3 days a week which helps so much in travel time and more time with the kids. With my schedule working 5am-130 pm Claire is only needing care from about 9am-2 pm which is so great! She loves after I pick her up to snuggle and hates being put down. As hard as it makes it to get anything done, I realized I need to let that go and enjoy these moments!

Claire is now 4.5 months and got cleared to start solid foods! We didn't start with Cole until months, but that was 7.5 years ago so times have changed :-) I am still going to make food for Claire and already enjoying using my new instant pot and new food processor I got recently! We have tried Rice cereal, sweet potatoes and butternut squash. She wasn't really a fan of rice cereal but seemed to like the other two! :

Cole is so super busy these days! He finishes school on the 27th, which is so late this year due to snow days in February! He is currently in hockey and baseball, and will be playing flag football and hockey this summer as well. He is one active little dude! Our schedules are filled with sports and birthday parties in June. He also recently participated in the school science fair, with a project about hockey pucks and how the temperature makes a difference in the speed and stick handling. This kid has a love for hockey like I have never seen!
